I have been in the house twice already, nothing stands out as a major issue although when I requested to look at the basement, the realtor reported that he does not have access to it at the moment and that we can gain access once a home inspection is underway. 

We have assumed my inlaws mortgage and we are moving them into the basement (at their request because of the stairs) We are currently working on fixing up the upstairs 3 bedroom portion to rent that out.

Still, no lender can use the borrower's current status as a reason to deny a short sale but, the borrower would need to be in imminent danger of default.The lender, upon request by the borrower, must provide the borrower with any and all requirements for alternatives to foreclosure and give them 30 days to respond and meet the requirements of the lender.

You can also request this information from the board as it's your right, but since they aren't responding, document it and report to the town. you can also provide proof of payment from your end as well and provide evidence you made the request and they haven't been responding. last option, get an attorney to send a letter and then lawsuit since their negligence is preventing you from refinancing and save money. 

Hi Athita,If your offer gets accepted, you or your attorney should request all tenant leases and the rent roll for the property.

Hi everyone,I just had a tenant notify me last week that they found a cheaper unit in the same sub and requested an incentive for her to stay at our place.

Are there any rules about contacting a broker and requesting a showing? 

As @Samuel Pavlovcik mentioned you can fill out a FOIA request once you have the proper jurisdiction.  

Just sent you a connection request.

You'll just get a better deal if going through a realtor.How it works:-Start a policy with a set $ amount per service request-When a covered item/system fails, contact the warranty company.
